All the best.

Hello Abhijit. There are various books and online materials which are best for CAT preparation. But I would suggest you to go with materials given by coaching Institute. The prime reason is, none of the books available in market are close to the level of questions asked in CAT. All these books are either too easy or too tough. But online coaching Institute materials can help with the question types, which is updated. For example, in reasoning section, since last two years, new question types are being asked. But none of the available books in market are covering such question types. But the online coaching materials are updated and can also help you with their test series as well.



All the best.
